Event Description





 
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Odyssey de Culinaire and embark on a culinary journey with the Oklahoma Hospitality Foundation!  Join us for one or both of these fundraising wine dinners that support Oklahoma ProStart, as part of the school-to-career workforce development programs with the Oklahoma Restaurant Association. This highly anticipated dining experience showcases renowned chefs from Tulsa and Oklahoma City, hosting unforgettable evenings of exquisite dining. These events are open to the public; each of the five-courses served, pairs a chef with an aspiring Oklahoma ProStart culinary student, creating an extraordinary dining experience for all attendees.

Funds raised from the events are used to advance the future of Oklahoma's culinary landscape and hospitality workforce; providing funding directly to the ProStart high school classrooms. Some activities that are supported include teacher professional development, classroom materials, guest speakers, food labs, field trips and student supplies. Experience a memorable evening of fine dining and wine pairings that will make a lasting impact on culinary education in Oklahoma! Join us for one or both Odyssey de Culinaire dinners this summer.
